However, he was right about one thing. After I woke up, I felt significantly better. Despite vomiting out so much blood, I was actually more energetic. When I walked, I was not as weak as before.
For some reason, the house started leaking after the rain. While Jenny went to get someone to fix it, I was bored. Hence, I wheeled myself out and wandered around aimlessly. Before Jenny left, she had reminded me sternly that I should not venture outside casually. If I had to leave, I must bring Lucas along.
However, I was not a child. If so many blind people could live independently, I could too. When Jenny noticed my nonchalant look, she directly summoned Lucas over. I spread my arms out to Lucas helplessly. “That’s what happens when my friend’s even more worried than I am.”
“Just like my servants.” Lucas pointed at his bodyguards and servants behind him. “Three of them need to follow me, or I’m not allowed to come out.”
I burst out laughing. Now that I was feeling more energetic, my mood was better too. “Let’s visit the school. I miss those kids.”
“I’m thinking of the same thing too. I brought a kite because the sea breeze’s pretty strong today. I’ll teach them how to fly a kite. You should join us!”
I did not know how many kites Lucas instructed his servants to buy. However, when the shop owner heard them speak, he was so excited that his voice trembled. He patted his chest and promised that not only would he deliver the kites to them, but he would also teach the kids.
The kids cheered as they ran into the shop and rushed out with a kite in hand. Those who did not manage to get their hands on the big kites took the smaller kites meant for toddlers.
Sitting on the beach and listening to their joyful voices, I smiled. Darius really knew how to find a suitable place. When I said that I wanted a peaceful and tranquil place, he found this small town for me. It was the best fit for me.
Since I could not see, I sat in the wheelchair and listened intently. The kids were running on the beach, while the breeze blew gently. Even though I could not see it, I could still imagine the scene of the kites flying in the sky.
